No More Booklikes, BYE

I enjoyed this YA tale of super powers, young romance, hot men, intense political intrigue and twists. It had all the elements of a good young adult read with a solid storyline and some fantastic characters. The powers these holders have are fantastic.
I was slightly lost by not having read book 1 in the series, but the author did give some brief hints that made. I would suggest reading book one first, some of the plot lines sound extremely interesting.
The story started with a young girl, Becca a holder, who had be betrayed by a trusted family friend. She must find this man who can lead them to saving both human and holder kind ( beings cool powers). She and her fellow holders travel to this meeting with some very uppity types who seem to believe in some kind of caste system with the most powerful holders at the top. There she must obey her guardian, and follow the rules. She doesn’t, she stomps her feet, acts like a rotten spoiled child, endangers everything and just irritated the heck out of me with her immaturity. Of course there is much more to her, and she does get better but boy does she pull some stupid moves.
She is bonded to a young man Alex, dreamy sweet Alex. Yes, I liked him. I’m not sure how that all came about, it was in the first book. She is one lucky girl because on top of having Alex she is paired up with Bastian, a prince of sort with looks, power, secrets and attitude plus. There is a triangle of sorts, with a fun little twist. Oh, and there is a kick in the heart.
Heartbreaking moments will have you grabbing for the tissue box. The cliffhanger ending will have you chewing your nails to the quick waiting for the third book.
